My Project

We are located in a small town that includes a large university. Community members are eager to support the university teams but getting support for our middle school and high school teams is a struggle.

Our middle school baseball team is made up of an amazing group of student athletes and coaches.

The coaches are all former players and bring a passion to the game! The players feel this passion and give 100% at practice and games. With all of this energy and passion, we would like for the players to have matching equipment so that they look like a cohesive team.

As all athletes know, when you look good, you play good! Having these matching bat bags would be a wonderful step towards looking like a great team. Not only would these bags help the players look the part, they would also provide them with an appropriate-sized bag to hold all of their equipment. This would make travel to away games and home games an easier process.
